Abstract
We report an unusual case of a patient with a bronchopleural-subcutaneous fistula
that occurred 3 years following a lobectomy and en bloc chest wall resection for carcinoma.
Following a sudden resolution of subcutaneous emphysema, an epidural air collection
developed. Spontaneous pneumorrhachis is a previously unreported late complication
after surgical or radiation therapy for lung carcinoma.
